The Board of Water Commissioners of
Hoboken met last evening to take action
upon the disappearance of Water Register
Michael Murphy. T he full board was
present, also Mayor Kerr and William A.
Macy, the accountant of the Land I'M
provement Company. The main purpose
of the meeting was to declare the Office of

successor to Murphy. Mr.. Murphys nama
was called as a matter of form, but, as was
expected, no response was made. The
affidavit of President Wihges, setting forth
the facts in the case as have already been
published, was read and ordered spread on
the minutes of the meeting, after which
motion Was made and adopted declaring
the office of Water Register vacant. The
Board then decided to elect Murphy's sue
cessor. Mr.. Rudolph nominated ex-
Mayor E. V. s. Besson, and Mr.. Loman
nominated Charles Gress. The vote on
Mr.. Besson resulted in tie. Messrs
Fitzsimmons, Rudolph and Pfeiffer voting
in the affirmative, and Messrs. Winges,
Fayan aud Loman in the negative, sthus
defeating Mr.. Besson. The nomination
of Mr.. Gross wac then acted upon, and
he was elested by majority of two,
Messrs. Pagan, Loman, Pfeifer and
Winges voting in the Affirmative, and
Mrs. Fit2simmons in the negative.
Mr.'Rudolphi introduced two resolutions
which were adopted, designed to prevent
further defalcalions. They provide that
no money shall be paid out by Regis er I'M
less upon warrant signed by the Presi-
dent of the Board and two commissioners
William A, Macy, of the Hoboken Land
Improvement Company, was appointed to
examine the Registers accounts and will
begin his work tomorrow.

A Prize Fight Similar to a Local Fight
several Weeks Ago.

WnKEsBARRE, Pa, April 16.--Pat. Com
ers, of Wanamee, and Zeb. Evans, of Nor
gantown, two young men. miners by occu-
patton, met in an open field a few miles
from Nantieoke at an early hour this
morning in pursuance of an agreement for
a prize fight with bare knuckles. The
stakes were the hand and heart of we'll
known Nanticoke belle and 800 side.
Five desperate rounds were fought in the
presence of about fifty persons. In the
last round Corners closed with Evans and
succeeded in knocking him under the
ropes, where he lay unable to move. The
referee awarded the fight to Corners. Il is
said that when the winner calls upon the
Dung lady to claim her hand she will de-
clare the fight off, having decided not to
accept either of the contestants.

meats.
There is no doubt that the fact that Wa
ter Registrar Michael H. Murphy of Hobo
ken, who disappeared Friday evening, was
defaulter, las been known to the city
officials of Hoboken for some years back.
1t is a common street rumor that William
w. Shipper, President of the Hoboken
Land and Improvement Company, once
made good one efficiency for him. The ex-
pert accountant VINO was first put at work on
the books of McMahon, the defaulting col
lector. three or four years ago, encountered
some figures in the books upon which he
was engaged indicating erookedness in the
Water Department, and told the Then
Mayor OF the city that the water books
should be examined as well as the collec-
tors. eBridge" Besson, when he was
Mayor Of Hoboken, strongly pointed sus-
picions against Murphy In caustic mes
sage he sent to the Council; aud for some
years there have been more or less forcible
demands made for an examination of his
books. but the thing that, above ali
others indicated a full knowledge
of Murphys defalcations in the
part OF the city officials was the action of
the Council Two years or SO ago. II is by
law the duty of City Comptroller Kauf-
man to examine the City books. Murphy
had resolution drawn and the Council
passed it, exempt:ng his books from the
Investigation. The plea was that the
books belonged 10 the Water Department;
and that Ii would be an affront to the aw-
full virtue of that branch OF the City gov
eminent to investigate its books. When
Mayor Besson's demand for an investigg-
ton was sent to the Council, it was filed
away without d VOTE All these circum-
stances indicate net only that Murphy S
deficiencies extend back many years, and
that the examination to be made of his
books will reveal large deficiency, but
that the city officials have been all along
eognizant of his frauds.
Nor has the information been confined
to officials aone. Couatless clti zens have
wondered now on his salary of 81, 500 he
could affore to pend money without liEit

AN INDICATION MEETING.
A Committee Appoint to Walt ON Judge
Knapp To-merrsw.

The citizens committee of Hoboken held
stormy meeting in Meyers Hotel last
night to discuss affairs relating to the city
and chiefly the case of missing Water Reg
lister Michael Murphy. The meeting was
attended by thirty citiz ms, and was pre-
sided over by Col. Stevens. The present
Board of Water Commissioners Was the
chief object OF attack, and its members
were denounced as incompetent They
were held responsible for MHrphy's
defalcation and it was the almost unani-
nous opinion of the meeting that they
should be removed from office. A resolu-
ton was offered for the appointment of a
committee to confer with Judge Knapp and
take action for the Investigation of the &C.
counts of the Water Commissioners and
the committee will wait on Judge Knapp
tomorrow.
Mr.. Albert Hoffman said he believed
the Water Commissioners have had
knowledge of Murphy's shortage for
a long time, ard that they suppressed it
until after election for political purposes,
and to corroborate his statement he re-
ferred to the act creating the Office of Wa
ter Register. He also declared that the
Hackensack Wat Company have had
knowledge of Murphy's shortage for some
time.
Ex-senator Ruhe said: "Mr. Hoffman
made one point in his argument that is
worthy of notice. / find the act creating
the Office of Water Register gives the Com
missioners power to appoint successor in
IN case the Office becomes vacant think
this gives color to the statement that Muir
phys irregularIty was suppressed until
after election"
James Curran declared that he was in
favor of having the Water Commissioners
indicted by the Grand Jury City Attor-
ney Minturn stated that if indictments
were to be found they should be found
against every board that has acted for the
pas: eight years. because Murphy's pilfer-
ings have been going on during that time.
Mayor Thinker. DIR. Chsbert and others
made speeches favoring the removal of the
Water Commissioners on the ground of in
competency. The committee to wait on
Judge Knapp has James Cullen for chair
man.

He will probably have clerical assistance
He was unable to say yesterday how long
1t will take him to complies the lnvestiga-
ton Mr. Macy is, as has been said, the
auditor of the Land and improvement
Company, andso indirectly connected with
the Hackensack Watt Company.
No one knows WHITTIER Mr.. Murphy has
gone. good many believe that the dear
sensitive fell2w has been driven to suicide
by the disgrace his crimes have brought
uoon him. The fact that he made de-
post OF So, COO and more the day he de-
parted, and tuat when he went away he
left $500 in cash in his safe, gives some
color to this theory, Few believe that,
alive or dead, he is far away.
The Water Company may commence suit
to recover the balance due from the city,
and there is much speculation as to the
personal liability of the Water mmission-
ers themselves. They are under heavy
bonds, conditioned for the faithful dis
charge of their duties. 1t is claimed that
negligence cad be shown that viii make
them and their sureties personally Liable

Larkins and Fitzgerald Didn't Fight
The Manager Accused of Trying to
Skin Larkins.
Not more than fifty persons attended the
much talked of sparring affair at Odd Fol-
lows Hall, Hohoken, last evening. 1t was
expected that Larkins and Fitzgerald, two
we'll known pugilists, would appear. and
Larkins was very much disappointed when
it appeared that Fitzgerald would not put
in an appearance, and the sporting men
present were mad, having paid one dollar
each for admission. While the audience
were waiting for the event of the evening a
tame affair between @ Mccarthy and J
Burke took place. They spared four
rounds. Mccarthy was the best man.
Then Harry Umlah and an unknown
SPARED three very tame rounds. About
IL o'clock the manager stated that he was
unable to open any other attractions, owing
to the non appearance of those who had
promised to attend and the small receipts.
The audience then slowly dispersed, thor
oughly disguised with the time lost and the
big money paid for nothing Fitzgerald. it
is said, put in an appearance early in the
evening, but Larkins refused to fight be-
cause, as he claimed, Umlah, the manager,
wanted to play skin racket on him.
